Last week we finally saw the first clip from the RoboCop remake, and this week Sony released five clips at once plus a new batch of photos. Well, that escalated quickly. They must have switched their marketing strategy over to, “f*ck it, just show them the whole movie” mode.

In this first clip, Samuel L. Jackson tries to sell us on the idea of being less robophobic.

Here’s the scene where Alex Murphy first wakes up in his new metal body with magic legs like Lieutenant Dan.

In this clip, RoboCop shoots a security guard — with a stun shot, at least, but it still seems out of character — then fights some ED-209s.

Want to see the inner workings of Omnicorp? Or watch Batman and Commissioner Gordon arguing? When Michael Keaton tells you to ship product, you ship product. We’ll figure out the whole “RoboCop shouldn’t tase security guards” thing later.

There is just too much to dislike about this reboot / remake / refuckingwhatever. The POV shot from the ED209’s optics with the in-screen caption that reads “Searching for clear shot” is flat out retarded. Is the ED209 explaining its logic to itself? Or is the ED209 aware that there’s a theatre full of people watching the images he’s capturing and he feels the need to explain to them why he’s not firing? Even if there’s a room full of guys watching the fight between Robocop and the ED209s on monitors somewhere, simply having the target reticle tracking and flashing to denote that the ED209 is unable to accurately lock on to Robocop should be more than enough for everyone who isn’t Forrest Gump-levels of stupid to figure out what’s happening.
Now don’t even get me started on the fucking human hand thing.
